User talk:73.123.30.85

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:

Create new pages and rename pages
Edit semi-protected pages
Upload images
Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a minimum number of days and made a minimum number of edits.

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (73.123.30.85) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

Happy editing! -BigDwiki^talk 22:37, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at The Final Countdown (song). Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

March 2020

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Mr Blobby (song); that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Hb1290 (talk) 01:07, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. You win. --73.123.30.85 (talk) 21:21, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Mvcg66b3r. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, WQED (TV), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 17:45, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Block evasion (2601:199:4181:E00:0:0:0:0/64)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 months for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Unblock request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

73.123.30.85 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

The incident that got this IP and another banned is in the past now, and I do not want to have it happen again. I am sorry for my non-apology in a previous unblock request, and I will never get involved in an edit war again. 73.123.30.85 (talk) 00:06, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:

I think that the best way for you to show us that you will abide by guidelines is to observe the rest of this block, so we know that you will stop attempting to evade the block. 331dot (talk) 08:54, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

You're not blocked for a single incident; you're blocked for a months-long pattern of edit-warring, mostly from the 2601 range described below.

Previous declined unblocks from other IPs in this blocked range:

User_talk:2601:199:4181:E00:49B4:9716:A7D1:F663 (declined February 28, 2021)

User_talk:2601:199:4181:E00:6DDA:7E9F:7484:C5C8 (declined February 28, 2021)

Edit warring and been warned on a large variety of articles, including:

[1] (edit warring on The Final Countdown (song)

[2] (edit-warring on CJOH-DT)

[3] (edit-warring on several articles).

This list goes on. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:23, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've learned from my mistake. I do not want to get involved in such an edit war again. It was wrong to do so. --73.123.30.85 (talk) 00:24, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're right; you won't be involved in any edit wars for the next three months. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:27, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't want to get taunted, I wanted to ask politely for an unblock. --73.123.30.85 (talk) 00:52, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
